Or you have a gift for your son hiding somewhere!
I love the beehive look of the Osterizer. My stick blender is probably why I don't use a blender very often.

You absolutely need to get a stick blender. When I was given one as a present, it got thrown in the drawer where nothing is used. Then I started using it and now I would never be without it. Since starting to use my stick blender, I have literally never used my mini cuisinart.

I don't want to scrap a $200+ blender for a $2 o-ring, but I also can't use it currently.
Most appliance places focus on dishwashers and fridges, but it can't be that nobody in the world fixes blenders.
